PURCHASING PLASTIC

Plastic is a material made from petroleum. Plastic products after the use for a long time dissolve in the ground, through 100g. Plastic waste is essentially no waste, but rather a group of new resources or raw materials. In 2011 the total amount of plastic packaging amounted to 327,936.78 tons. Plastic waste dumps holds 9% of the total weight of waste, but the volume occupies 32% to landfills. The recycling of plastic waste contributes to reduce electricity consumption and this reduce emissions.
About 10% of plastic trash is recycled in Serbia.
Recycling plastic is the separation and sorting of plastic materials from waste and its re-use. Plastic waste is a very complex matter because its chemical composition is different from plastic to plastic. It is important first to separate plastics by type. There are seven types of plastics that are commonly recycled. These types of plastics have a mark for recycling for easy separation. It is best if there are opportunities to separate plastic waste at the place of its origin.
Many plastic materials can be reused if they are properly sorted. In addition to marking plastic recycling can successfully classify and process of ignition. Different types of plastics when the above have a different smell and color of the flame. So categorized plastics goes on further treatment, which consists in washing and cleaning classified plastic. Laundry and cleaning is due to more efficient use in further production. The next phase of recycling plastics is grinding in special mills for grinding plastic. The larger pieces of plastic are cut into small for easy placement in the mill. Thus milled plastics in the jargon known as "fines" may be a variety of granulation of which depends on the sieve in a hammer mill. Plastic is before grinding can be separated by colors but does not have. The resulting granules can be immediately used in the production process of plastic and can pass through another stage, respectively granulation. This phase of re-grinding is carried out reprocessing. The resulting reprocessing plastic directly used in the manufacturing process of items plastike.
